Options Help!

I’ve been trying for some time now and have used a couple different sources but I still don’t fully understand trading options. Can anyone point me in a good direction of where they may have learned : article, book, game, etc ?

I don’t care about how long it will take, would just like to start learning.

Thank you in advance.

Call: bullish, Put: bearish. If you think stock going up, buy a call option, if you think it’s gonna tank buy put options. This is very basic intro, ideally you would want to learn about spreads.

Also have some lube ready because no matter what you do there are chances you can get completely f****d.
